							| A Rather Interesting Video on the Origins of English 
 |  
							| Here is a video I found on the origins of the English language (from the 40s!).  It actually has quite a bit of vocabulary in it too.     Cheers, Douglas   EDIT:   OOPS!!   I posted the wrong link, here is the correct one:   or     The other link is Pilarmham�s -- sorry Pilar.   Douglas   |  12 Apr 2012

							| Yes, Douglas, this is entertaining and educational (in a quick-fire funny way) but it �s not from the 40s. I know this because it was produced by everyone �s favourite flared-trousered education institution, the Open University (founded 1969) and narrated by everyone �s favourite short-necked barrister, Clive Anderson (founded 1952). |  12 Apr 2012
